Weekly Assignment: Keep Pluggin' Away

Make sure that you have adequate research to support your speech. Remember that your speech should be about 5 minutes long.

When you are developing your points, think about a meal. You fix a plate of food... mashed potatoes, green beans, chicken, and bread. You get nutrients from it all, but the meat of the meal provides you with protein and nutrients to help build muscle and give you energy until your next meal. That is how you should develop each individual point. Find the 'meat' and anchor your thought with that. Surround it with valuable information from your sources (veggies and sides) and you have a complete thought (or meal, so to speak!).

If you feel any of your points are weaker than the other, you may need to supplement it with additional information from your sources.
